Thank you for the expanded answer. I am from Germany, so I would appreciate it a lot if you can name any of those german university secret society.
I also spent some time in the London Gentlemen´s Club scene (the proper one). I enjoyed it a lot and as you said met a lot of interesting people. It´s the same as with universities. They have a hierachy and in different clubs you will meet a different crowd. But I find it´s quite some work to find the best clubs and places in every city (I move quite a lot). The nice thing about gentlemens and social clubs are the affiliated clubs in other cities... I am going to join such a club once I find a city to settle down.
Until then I want to get exposed to a lot of people and get a good network.
